Untamed (July 17)

Eric Bana, Sam Neill and Rosemarie Dewitt co-star in the new Netflix limited series Untamed, about an investigation that takes place inside the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park. In the six-episode series, Bana stars as a special agent named Kyle Turner who isn’t so sure that the dead body found at the base of El Capitan is the result of an accident. As he and his team investigate, they encounter suspects and secrets, and he’s forced to confront his own past and his failings in another case he couldn’t solve.

Jaws (July 15)

Steven Spielberg’s summer classic Jaws dropped on Netflix this week, and with Shark Week right around the corner, there’s no better time to revisit the classic tale of a police chief (Roy Scheider) on a mission to destroy the killer shark terrorizing the local waters around the town of Amity. The film’s three (less notable) sequels also arrived this week, but the 1975 original is the one to watch. The music, the indelible performances (Robert Shaw as Quint is grizzled perfection), and even the quaint animatronics add up to the perfect summer movie.

Apocalypse in the Tropics (July 14)

The film, which spent four years in the making, arrived July 14.
